Modeling protein folding, which is the process by which a protein obtains its spacial shape, still remains a challenging problem. Protein geometry might be simplified by using the coarse-grained models. The highest level of simplification is achieved in HP-models where only polarity of amino acid residues is considered, and the unified monomers are located in nodes ...

In this paper, an extension of the minimum cost flow problem is considered in which multiple incommensurate weights are associated with each arc. In the minimum cost flow problem, flow is sent over the arcs of a graph from source nodes to sink nodes. The goal is to select a subgraph with minimum associated costs ...

In the paper we consider the hidden parameter (measurement time t_meas) which combines quantum and classical theory. We show that the Bose–Einstein and Fermi–Dirac quantum distributions turn out to be the decisive factor in the construction of isotherms in classical thermodynamics and in the description of the phase transition “gas to liquid” and “liquid ...

The cell formation problem (CFP) is an NP-hard optimization problem considered for cell manufacturing systems. Because of its high computational complexity several heuristics have been developed for solving this problem. In this paper we present a branch and bound algorithm which provides exact solutions of the CFP. This algorithm finds optimal solutions for 13 problems ...

We consider one approach to formalize the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) in terms of combinatorial optimization theory. The transformation of the original problem into combinatorial setting is based on interpreting each operation as an atomic entity that has a defined duration and has to be resided on the continuous time axis meeting additional restrictions. ...

Before a knock-out tournament starts, the participants are assigned to positions in the tournament bracket through a process known as seeding. There are many ways to seed a tournament. In this paper, we solve a discrete optimization problem of finding a seeding that maximizes spectator interest in a tournament when spectators are interested in matches ...

This paper describes BBMCW, a new efficient exact maximum clique algorithm tailored for large sparse graphs which can be bit-encoded directly into memory without a heavy performance penalty. These graphs occur in real-life problems when some form of locality may be exploited to reduce their scale. One such example is correspondence graphs derived from data association ...

Мы рассматриваем естественные постановки задач о независимом множестве, о вершинном и о реберном доминирующем множестве как задач целочисленного линейного программирования и доказываем полиномиальную разрешимость этих задач для классов графов, имеющих ограниченные по абсолютному значению миноры (расширенных) матриц ограничений. ...

This paper describes a new initial vertex ordering procedure NEW_SORT designed to enhance approximate-colour exact algorithms for the maximum clique problem (MCP). NEW_SORT considers two different vertex orderings: degree and colour-based. The degree-based vertex ordering describes an improvement over a well-known vertex ordering used by exact solvers. Moreover, colour-based vertex orderings for the MCP have ...
